| After many years of the idea being proposed by
Wivenhoe Town Council, Colchester Borough Council provided a grant of
almost £11,000 to pay the cost of a new shelter on The Quay.
The Town Council worked with Tim Snow, an architect living in Wivenhoe
when the project was started, to design a replacement shelter. After
planning approval was obtained, there was a further delay in finding a
builder to undertake the work within the budget allowed.
Eventually work commenced early in 2002, and a plaque was unveiled in
October 2002 to record its official opening and the financial
contribution from Colchester Borough Council.

plaque by Town Mayor Cllr David Craze and his wife, Angela, to mark the
completion of the project to replace the old shelter.
